Embrace Humility

Humility allows you to see your weaknesses and embrace God’s strength; it allows you to see your insufficiency and embrace His adequacy; it allows you to see your poverty and embrace His riches; it allows you to see your sin and embrace His righteousness; it allows you to see your lack and embrace His supply. ~Roy Lessin

Humility is not measured by what you do or don’t do. It is not measured by what you say or how you look. Humility is by the attitude and disposition of your heart. It is measured by your surrender, your obedience, your faith, and your complete dependency upon God. ~Roy Lessin.

Prayer: “Lord, I love being nothing so that YOU can be my all in all.”

Rejoice! Pray! Give Thanks!
